Received this tent today, 11 June 24 and immediately set it up. I’d just received their Zeta C6 Pro tent 3 days ago and was super impressed so I knew this one had to be even better. AND IT IS!!! It may be a 4 person tent but it does not lack in spaciousness. It’s roomy & so cozy and the quality is superb! It’s not polyester and it’s not canvas but sorta feels like a mixture of oxford & canvas. Just know that it’s damn good quality. The zippers may not be “YKK” but the “SBS” is buttery honey. The tent floor definitely is Oxford material. The mesh, not even if a pesky net was the size of a grain of salt, it’s not getting through. And if it’s that size, it shouldn’t even exist. The set up once you do it at least 2-3 times really is 60 seconds. I think I got it up in 3 minutes. Still not bad for a first time. It’s that quick. And the take down you can do it with your eyes closed. The only difference between it and the Gazelle concept wise, is a few specs & the name. I really don’t care about a removable floor although that’s super cool but I have a portable vacuum… This tent has a port to run electrical or propane hose that zips but I don’t believe the Gazelle does. The FanttickOitdoor brand is top notch & right out the gate based on the tent fabric, taped seams, & ease of set up I’m giving it 5 stars. Sue me. I simulated a camping set up and it took me 19 minutes to pack eveything up so I know when I’m out at camp this is going to be shorter. I’m so excited to get my 1st camp in with this baby! FanttickOutdoor if you make the large version of the Gazelle T4 plus, I’m snatching it up with the quickness. Oh and the $299 price with the $45 coupon makes it a steal.

There are a lot of Pros and a couple of Cons with this tent.At 27 pounds in weight you won’t be using this if you are hiking to your campsite. Not exactly a Con but if you plan on carrying it a long distance – buy a lighter tent.It’s very well made and the zippers work great. No complaints there.They claim it’s 80″ tall but they must be including the top pole as I am only 6′ 1″ tall and my head touches the top in the center. Not a big deal but I thought I would mention it.My first setup took just over 3 minutes. Now that I have it figured out how it works the next setup will be much faster.This is exactly as described and pictured by the vendor. Comes with everything you need to set it up and use it.The bottom of the tent is sturdy but I still put a folded heavy duty tarp under my tents to offer some additional protection against all those ‘pointy’ things on the ground.My only gripe is they don’t list exactly what this is made of. Telling me the bottom is 300D “fabric” tells me nothing. What are the poles made of? What material is used for the top and sides (and bottom)? How resistant is this to UV? What is the warranty? These are important specs and should be included in the description – but they aren’t. I find that to be annoying.All that said, this IS a good tent and I like it.Time will tell how good a ‘deal’ this is. So far, I’m glad I got it and like it a lot. I feel pretty safe recommending this.

We recently upgraded to the Alpha C4 Ultra Instant Cabin Tent, and it has been a fantastic addition to our camping gear. This tent is designed for convenience and durability, making our outdoor trips more enjoyable and hassle-free. My favorite part is its incredibly quick setup. The pop-up X-frame pole structure with a removable rain cover allows the tent to be set up in just 60 seconds, without any tools or assembly required. The rugged boxy construction with four vertical walls creates a spacious interior that can comfortably fit our queen-sized air mattress, but could also accommodate up to four people per industry standards. The ample headroom makes it easy to walk upright inside the tent, adding to the overall comfort.The wind and water protection offered by this tent is top-notch. The waterproof and windproof fabric, combined with seam tape, ensures that the tent stays dry even in harsh weather conditions. Despite its size, the tent is easy to carry and store, offering convenience in transportation and storage, which is where a lot of tents fall short in my opinion. The tent’s breathability and comfort are also noteworthy. The design allows natural light and air to flow through, providing a great view of the outdoors while keeping the interior cool and fresh, even in scorching summer weather.Overall, the Alpha C4 Ultra Instant Cabin Tent is a significant upgrade for us. It’s rugged, built to last, and packed with features that enhance our camping experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a durable and convenient tent for their outdoor adventures.

I love the design of this thing. Maximizes the space. So much better than my previous tent, that I had to crouch crawl in and out of, and wasn’t able to stand up inside.Materials are above standard. Wouldn’t mind it being even just a LITTLE thicker, but I imagine they had to find a sweet spot for weight, as it’s a fairly heavy tent already.Wasn’t QUITE as easy as I thought, to set up, by myself. Had to wrestle with it a little, but I imagine with 2 people pulling corners, it would be a breeze.Other than that, it’s an awesome tent, and I will be using it a lot! I do recommend.

Just used it for the first time last evening and could not be more impressed. 5 mins to setup and very sturdy. Had a light drizzle of rain all night and no issues at all. Fits two adults very comfortability. 4 kids and or teens no problem. Highly recommend!

This boasts a 60 second setup and they are not far off! First time took about 2 minutes, all you do is push out the poles that come to a center on the top and each side. It’s so easy and I’ve never seen a tent with this system before. If you want the top cover over, that is about another minute or 2. The zippers are good quality and have a small loop rope on each one for easy grabbing. It has 2 doors that zip out into a triangle, you cannot just walk in, you step in. Plenty of windows that are also triangle shaped and can be closed. No problems standing straight up inside and could easily accomate taller people. Includes stakes for each corner and a carrying/storage case. A few zipper pockets inside to store small items and a slit with zipper closure close to the bottom so you have the option to run cords inside the tent. Was pretty impressed with the overall function and roominess of this tent. Best of all is the setup and take down.

This comes in a nice case, and even after setting up and taking down, easy to return to the case. This doesn’t always happen with products – but this one was nice and simple. We took it out of the case, the sides popped out and the roof popped up with just a couple of tugs. There is a separate piece to go over the top. Very easy to set up, just as easy to take down. There are doors and TONS of windows, so no worries at all about air flow when you need it. Overall, a very nice, well made tent.
AJKR –
The setup on this tent is very fast and easy. No poles or anything to deal with. Unfold it and pull on the 4 side walls and it pops open. Step inside and push the top up and you have a tent. Then step back out and put the rain cover on if you need it. Tear down is fast and easy as well. Just reverse the steps of putting it up. Plenty of room on the inside. I am 6’3″ and was able to stand up in the middle and fully stretch out without touching any sides while laying down. You can open up all sides for airflow on warmer days.The only downfall I can find with this tent is it is still pretty large even when folded. The convenience of the fast and easy setup means it cannot fold up smaller. I wouldn’t want to travel very far from vehicle to campsite to set this up.

About four years ago we bought a similar pop up screen tent that has been very useful, especially for cooking and dining when mosquitos and yellow jackets are a nuisance. We love the pop up design for the ease of setup.We were very excited about ordering this similar style pop up tent… and Fanttik did not disappoint us with the Alpha C4 Ultra. Being familiar with the pop up design, we had it up in the advertised 1 minute. We immediately began admiring the roomy design and the numerous windows, (10), all with screens, and the screened ceiling. It also has two doors that are screened too. Great versatility in being zipped up tight, or being like a screen tent.Top it off with a generously sized rain fly that attaches quickly to built in foldout eaves. The rain fly material seems to be a little heavier fabric, and definitely is coated with a waterproof barrier.It is apparent to see the quality of materials, fabric, zippers, hardware, and the stitching. I expect it will be very durable and we are very pleased with the value.

Easy to build, great instructions. Would definitely recommend.

My new favorite tent for long term camping. I took this on a 2 week camping trip, where there was no getting around the ants, and severe thunderstorms made up a good portion of the trip.No ants or water got in. I’m so impressed with this tent, it was easy to setup, and I think what helped with keeping the ants at bay is the opening of the doors zip up at the top, not the bottom. It took me a few days to get used to the door opening, I kept tripping myself at the bottom since it’s basically a sideways triangle.I think that maybe because the doors close at the top of the tent and not the bottom could be a reason why ants didn’t get in. Whatever it is, I’m just happy that I slept ant-free. It would have been miserable if I had to deal with ants and other bugs during my 2 week trip.The tent held up to downpours and wind without any issues. I didn’t have any fears that it was going to blow over or collapse on me, it’s very sturdy and durable. I love how airy and open it is without the rainfly, I was lucky enough to enjoy 2 days without the fly on.The size fit 2 people and 2 dogs comfortably. I like the large size, and that the walls are straight, because I was able to setup a projector screen to watch movies during the rainy nights. Quality is great, absolutely worth the price tag. It’s a durable and good looking tent that really does set up in 1 minute. Highly recommend.
WhiskeyJack –
This is one of the best quality tents I’ve ever owned. Yes it is easy to setup and takedown and that is awesome but my real excitement is the attention to detail. The reinforced areas that needed it and they put in extra stitching. The put covers over zippers and hangers wherever you would imagine. The rain cap is flawless and easy. The instructions are sewed into the bag (wow). The attention to detail is everything you would want as this is the highest quality tent I have ever used. There is no doubt this is a 5 star tent and if you could rate higher I would. Well done.
Nate Groshan –
I’ve owned around 7-8 tents in my life of all different sizes and this is my second pop-up tent (because the first one sucked). I’m very impressed with this tent from FanttikOutdoor. If you don’t put the rain cover on, it truly is a 60-second setup, and even with the rain cover, it is maybe a 2-minute setup (even for one person). Putting it away is nearly as easy. Working by myself I had everything backing the bag in about 3 minutes.I haven’t taken the tent camping yet, but I set it up in my yard in anticipation of a rain storm passing through. We got approx.10 MPH winds and about 1.5 inches of rain in under 2 hours. The tent handled the wind and the rain well with only a few drops of water getting in through the zippers on the side of the tent where the wind was blowing from.The build quality seems good for the price. It may not be on the level of a premium expedition-grade tent, but it is significantly better than some cheapo tent you would get from a department store.As of right now, I have no complaints. This just seems to be an awesome tent and a very convenient car camping solution.Because of the pop-up nature of the tent, it is a bit longer than a conventional 4-person tent when packed up. I measured it at 58″ long and 12″ wide when packed in the bag. For someone with a truck or SUV, this isn’t a problem, but if you have a smaller car, you may want to measure your trunk/backseat and make sure you will have room for this tent.As long as your vehicle can accommodate this tent, I would consider it an excellent option for a couple or a small family. Four adults inside of it would be doable but pretty cozy. Two adults and two kids seems reasonable, though.
Jordan Miller –
As a standard camping tent- perfect. Easy to set up, even easier to break down. Made it through a few thunderstorms and not a drop of rain inside. Well made, sturdy & my favorite tent for standard camping trips.
J. A. –
Really happy with how easy this tent is to setup. You really just unfold it and pop it up and its ready to go. No messing with running poles or anything like that. Once setup it is pretty roomy. You could definitely fit 4 people in there, but 2-3 would be ideal for comfort. A decent amount of headroom as well. The only thing I didn’t like about this tent is when it’s packed away it’s still about 5ft long. I suppose this is a trade off for the instant setup nature of it, but it makes it difficult to store or carry if you have limited space in your vehicle. Other than that we are really happy with it.

I set this up in the backyard in less than a minute or two. I had it set up for a couple days when we got a freak storm come out of nowhere that we were under a tornado warning for. So since I live in a mountainous area where tornadoes aren’t usually a risk or if they do touchdown don’t last very long I rode out the storm in the tent to see how it did. I was pretty impressed with its stability during the high winds and rain. My only real issue with the tent is I wish it came with a longer eve over the opening. The way the door is positioned on the corner. It is a little bit trickier than some tents to get in and out of, and doesn’t provide much protection if you’re having to get in and out of the tent during the Rain. The tent in its packaging it quite large and this is best for car camping. Overall weight isn’t to bad considering its size. I have a similar design tent that weighs double what this one does.
Amanda –
This tent is very impressive. I was skeptical about it but the size is very large and it is very easy to set up! The durability is great. Highly recommend
Dee –
I purchased this tent after seeing it on a YouTube video and started doing some research. After some research I saw this on NiceShine and had to have one! It arrived and I set it up in my living room to check it out before my next camping trip. It’s well made, easy to setup, spacious for a 4 person tent due to the design, and it has so many windows all around the tent! We love it so much we purchased another one the same day this one arrived so family and friends could enjoy tent camping with us when they need a tent! We can’t wait to take it on our next camping outing coming up soon!
Euro –
I have been tent camping my whole life, through every type of weather, and this is my new favorite tent. The setup truly is 1 to 3 minutes, depending on the usage of the rainfly. I’ve only put it up once, to test, but will be going camping in it with my wife in a couple of weeks, and taking it down was well under 5 minutes on my own – Which for a first-time use is more than impressive. I like that I can stand up straight, no more being bent over double to move around.The materials seem very high quality, it will be interesting to see how it holds up to rain and wind, but as we live in SoCal it will take a while before I find out, as we don’t get very much of it around it. We couldn’t be happier, but I will be keeping my small hiking tent, as this is a pretty heavy and will only go where the car can go.
Kia –
Love this outdoor tent. It was so easy to put up and was just enough room for our air mattress and out other belongings. We were done setting it up in no time. Thank you.
Chris –
Don’t let the picture fool you – this was less than one minute out of the bag and before guy lines/stakes/rainfly. This is a game changer. New to camping and this tent was easy to set up and take down for one person, spacious, and durability is beyond expectation. Zippers for windows and door and smooth and like the flexibility of closed or mesh for openings.Highly recommend.

The one thing that I did not particularly care for about with this tent is that the devices designed to hold the guylines in place are lacking in design, however, I can still cinch the lines down tight without any issue… All in all, an absolutely fantastic tent, and I would purchase this tent again in a heartbeat.
Susan Waroquier –
Very rarely do form and function come together in such a perfect way. I am incredibly impressed with everything about this tent. Kudos to Fanttik. Absolute steal for under $200.
Kent M Ewing –
amazing value. easy to set up

Best Buy ever

My husband and I used this tent on a recent camping trip, and honestly I think we were both pleasantly surprised with this tent. One of our biggest pet peeves with tents has always been lots of poles and complicated setup. We’ve sworn by an REI tent for the last 10+ years, but this Alpha C4 Ultra surpasses it in ease of use for sure. We’ve even camped with the Carsule tent attached to our 4Runner for the past couple years, but honestly we will probably never go back to that after using the Alpha C4 Ultra. With two people, we can most definitely set it up in 60 seconds. I think it’s quite possible even one person can pop this tent up in 60 seconds as well, as advertised. Now I never want to have to insert a tent pole again!This tent is incredibly sturdy. The framing and built-in poles feel very high quality. It definitely does not feel like you’re going to accidentally bend a pole or break something. This thing feels quite solid. The overall fabric of the tent, window mesh, stitching, and zippers feel very good quality. An exception though seems to be the floor. The floor material just seems a bit thin, and I wish it was a bit thicker mil. I do worry that with continued use, the floor may wear especially when the tent is used on rough ground. We did use a tarp underneath the tent (which I would recommend anyway with any tent) but I still worry about the floor material being a bit suspect.The rain fly is very easy to put on, and the tent even has little eaves that the rain fly sticks out over on the four corners. The rain fly attaches securely and does not flap around in the wind. We did have a couple hours of decent rain during our trip, and the rain fly definitely kept the water completely out of coming in through the mesh tent ceiling.In terms of keeping rain out, however, there are some issues. The entire tent has lots of windows, which is great in most circumstances, and is understandably part of the overall design. However, there are seams literally EVERYWHERE on this tent. Even, inexplicably, a large seam that goes through the floor piece. (Why isn’t the floor a solid piece of fabric??) All of these seams just increase all of the potential entry points for moisture when it rains. We did experience a little bit of water coming in at the floor corners as well as seeping through window seams and weeping from the loops that hang for you to pin back open windows. It wasn’t a lot, but really any water coming in while you’re camping is less than ideal. Especially when you’re sleeping on the floor, and all your stuff is on the floor!That said, over all we really feel like this is a pretty solid four-star tent that should last a while. It’s not the most compact, but also it requires barely any effort to set up which is a big win in my book. Especially if you’re a pretty fair-weather camper and don’t get caught in too much rain, this is great. Plenty of room to sleep, plenty of room for an adult to stand up, and solid quality.

Fanttik C4 Tent ReviewI’ve been living in the Fanttik C4 tent for a little over a week now, and honestly, it’s pretty great. Setting it up is a breeze. It’s about 7’ by 7’ space, so there’s plenty of room to move around. At 5’3”, I can easily stand up and change clothes.The ventilation in this tent is absolutely fantastic – it’s basically a screened-in room.The tent is made of quality materials, so it feels pretty durable. There’s even a zipped extension cord port at the bottom.It’s almost completely waterproof. We had a serious thunderstorm last night (see video) with heavy rain for hours, and only a dime-sized drop of water got in. I have no idea where it came from, but that’s a tiny issue in the grand scheme of things.The door configuration is a bit of a pain. It’s easy to trip over, especially at first. I get that it’s a structural thing, but it’s still a little annoying. Also, it doesn’t block out light, but I didn’t really expect it to, so no big deal there.In terms of space, it comfortably sleeps 4 people on the floor, 3 in cots, or 2 in cots if you want a bit more room. I’m planning to buy another one for my dad, who’s looking to start camping. This tent is perfect for him since it’s so easy to set up.All in all, I’m really happy with this tent. It’s handled strong winds and heavy rain like a champ. Definitely worth the buy, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.Update!I’ve now been living in this tent for a month. I still love it. It’s held up to everything I’ve asked of it. Look at the pic – I’ve purchased 3 times! My dad, who is 65 and not an avid camper, can set it up in about 90 seconds, minus staking and guying. I still highly recommend this tent.I’ll be full time for about another month. If anything changes, I’ll update again.

Went camping, easy to set up, easy to take down, fits in bag, quality great! Loved it, slept well.
Evan –
When they say 60 seconds, they weren’t kidding. I think it took me maybe 90 seconds the first time because I’d never done it before. With two people that know how it works, 60 second set up is a breeze. The tent also feels sturdy compared to some tents I’ve have with traditional poles. The design also provides head room everywhere in the tent, not just the center. So far this tent is awesome. I haven’t had it out in serious rain, so I can’t speak to that. For car camping, this is our new go to tent.
Tye A. Block –
What a great tent. Easy to set up!! I would suggest placing the rainfly on before you put the center up though. Other than that, Im 65 year old female and had this up in minutes!! Roomy! I have an oversized cot that was pushing the envelope on room though. Easy with a smaller cot or air mattress. No leaks, sturdy zipper. Lots of windows. I absolutely love it!!
JT –
I have been looking at the original big name HUB model of this tent for months,…… then saw this apparent exact copy at a huge savings and decided to give it a try, and I am so glad I did. Of course time and use will tell, but I am super impressed with what I am seeing on my first setup. The quality is there and I have had many tents during my 70 plus years. Quality stitching, excellent zippers, lots of windows, and nicely done water sealing taping on stitching, everywhere it needs to be. If you are thinking about the original big brand ( animal with the long neck ) hub tent ,…….. give this tent a serious look, and save some money. Glad I did, and can’t wait to start using it!

The pop up style is nice and quick set up, but collapsed the thing is massive. It needs to be for headroom, just don’t plan on taking it for a canoe trip.
mocrew6 –
This tent makes camping so much easier. Quick and easy set up with lots of ventilation and pockets to put things. The rain fly is a breeze to put on as well. Love that we can stand up in it and plenty of room for our cots. Quality is great. Look forward to camping in different climates and terrain to see how well it holds up. It is a big bag to pack around but the sacrifice for 60 second convenience well worth it. My husband is a wildland fire fighter and this makes it easy if he needs to move to another location. The price compared to others was a much nicer price point. Absolutely love it so far!
Interesting story but so many holes in the various pots. My book club agreed it was well written but skipped important information about characters and events, which made it feel unfinished. It was easy to read but otherwise kind of meh overall. –
The design is nice but it is not super easy to set up. I takes a far bit of strength to pop it open initially.I also doubt it is fully rain proof as there were a few small holes throughout. The rain flap over the top would not keep the rain out if there is any wind with the rain.
avdrdr –
Amazingly easy to set up and take down. It is so cool how screens are all around – roof and all. So much light and air flow. It’s good for two people. I put a queen size mattress in ours and it takes up allll the floor space basically. It leaves about a foot on three sides to walk around. We use this tent for extra sleepers when needed at our permanent campsite, so that is okay for our purposes. If you use for actual camping and need to move around, change, etc. in your tent, you’ll not have room for a queen mattress. I put our mattress on a fold-out frame that’s 12” tall, so you can stash bags, etc. under that. Got a fan/light (USB rechargeable) to hang from loop in center, and a couple plastic Edison bulbs that hang from loops too and have 3 light levels. I put the rain fly on by myself even though I am only 5’ tall, it was easy. Highly recommend if you want to put a twin or full size mattress!!!
Judy –
We used this on a 11 day tent camping journey to find Bigfoot (actually a Bigfoot RV) in the Pacific Northwest. Up/down every day then traveling 300-600 miles a day. We didn’t bother staking it because we figured our IKEA bed would hold it down. When we got home we noticed the west marks which I will patch because otherwise it’s a great tent.
Just me –
Wanted an easy tent for my kids. This us super easy up and almost as easy to take down. Definitely recommend

Super easy to set up super easy to take down very spacious
Phuong Anh Doan –
Put this to work a few weeks ago and can’t be happier. Super easy to put up and take down. Also keep the cold air out at night.
NiceShine Customer –
Super easy to set up and break down, great for camping because of this as if it’s raining you can quickly jump out and get this set up and get under shelter to dry off faster than you would a normal tent for shelter. It’s pretty roomy with a twin blow up mattress or cot. Has great ventilation when opened up in the summer, I’d just add a camping fan with some sort of solar powered charger to keep it going.
JC –
I’ve done a lot of experimentation with tents and this is my favorite one for car camping. Works well solo or with another person, enough room for a queen sized mattress plus space on each side for bags, changing and walking around. Great ventilation options with all the windows around, I like having each one slightly open so there’s a lot of airflow but nobody can really see inside.I’m 6’0 and don’t hit my head standing (except for at the very edges) which is nice, especially for something like festival camping where you’ll be doing full outfit changes.Incredibly easy to set up and take down, and the included storage bag is sized generously so it’s not difficult to stuff back in or anything.
Consumer Buyington –
Saw a tent exactly like this years ago, on sale for about $190 and have it a try. I loved it so much I wanted a second in case the original one became unusable. It was out of stock and then discontinued.Over the years, I kept an eye out and never saw it again. I’ve used the tent in wind and rain without any issues. Those who say it’ll collapse in wind have not used it nor have they ever been ice fishing in a tent. They’re basically the same setup. Even without the side wall tie downs, it was fine, but if you need extra, the side wall tie downs will make it solid.My friends and family have all been impressed when they see how easy it is to set up and take down, and how much room there is. Because the walls are vertical and not slanted, there’s so much more useable space. I’m 6’4″ and can stand up straight in the middle without touching the top.I was telling a coworker about the tent and randomly searched the style to show him and this one came up with some other more popular brands. Others I’ve seen over the years are between $270-$500, and I’ve been tempted over the years to spend the money cause I really wanted another. I was blown away that it was on sale for $177! If you missed that sale, you missed out. I got two of them cause I knew it was a fantastic tent and a fantastic price. Now if my original becomes unusable, I have backups in storage. If there’s an emergency and family and friends need shelter, I have some great options.Even at full price, I’d choose this one over more expensive brands. It has a larger rain fly and more windows.I can’t say enough good things about this tent. Camping has never been more enjoyable!
NiceShine Customer –
This is the best tent I have ever had, ever set up, ever slept in, everything. It’s roomy, love the tall ceiling yet still compact. So many windows for breeze and the top is open if you want too. EASIEST set up EVER. And the tent actually fits in the bag when you are ready to pack it up!
Lyle –
Using the C4 alpha on this trip, we caught some light rain and getting some leakage. Nothing major, but certainly hoped for better considering we didn’t much volume. Looks like the seams may have quality issues, some areas enough to cause a drip. Also I believe the listing says there is a gear loft included with this purchase, and there wasn’t one included. Set up was easy, even with the rain fly, had it up in minutes. But yeah the leaking did disappoint

very roomy inside 1st time solo camper ( old lady camper ) was so easy to pull hubs out .really have to give it a good tug on sides ,ceiling went up easy guide lines were so easy to attach and stack , highly recommending setting up in back yard and pre-attaching guidelines first and just leaving them on . and always rolling the tenting up in the fly before putting back in the bag if you store it right the set up and break down is so much easier – the tent stakes are sub par – i would like to upgrade those – some of the tent zipper togs fell of they are just tied on had to retie a few not a biggie – had plenty of ventilation during day which was great , suggest leaving a few windows vented during summer was condensation on inside of rainfly in the morning – the rainfly is really thin during a hard rain i am questioning whether or not i would get wet – it did say water proof / maybe extra waterproofing would not be too bad idea but if expecting bad weather or extended stay an over head tarp would be ideal to be safe .was very comfortable in this set up had cabella’s folding cot – recommend putting rugs under cot so tent doesn’t tear underneath as the legs are metal – I DID use a foot print underneath the tent too just as large as the tent to prevent pooling if rain . i had folding table in the next to cot to hold my water ,glasses and t.p because i use a camp toilet at night . not leaving my tent in middle of night – nope no bears or wild pigs for me thanks – and i did hear some pigs this trip . that is a no for me . so i had plently of room for my gear this was a 4 person tent great for one person and glamping crap , if hubby went it would have been tight but do able . though i would have put camp toilet in the shower house next to tent then . i did not use electricity this trip , but there is a port hole for generator or cord access for electricity if you require heat or fan or whatever . over all value and design 8 . doors are weird triangle but low enough that you don’t get caught in the fabric and trip and wide i liked that feature .

Tent is amazing…. 30 seconds set up!

I have finally had a chance to use this tent a few times and I will say I am very impressed so far. All of the claims on this tent seem to be true.It is extremely easy and quick to set up. No joke, you can easily have this tent up in 60 seconds. Even if for some reason you’re struggling you can still have this set up, including the rain fly, within 3 minutes. It packs away just as quickly and it fits back in it’s bag without struggling.The attached poles are thicker than usual fiberglass poles and that helps a lot with this tents rigidity. I have not been in high winds with this tent yet but it is so solidly built I don’t think it’s going to have any trouble dealing with high winds, especially it it’s staked out properly. The tent overall has 8 attachment points to tie it down and you could even use the 4 other tie points on the rainfly top edge if you are really worried although I don’t think you would ever have to.This tent is a quiet tent! The fabric is thicker than the usual and I really like this material. It is so tought when the tent is up that it contributes to a lack of wind noise which is great to help sleep through those windy nights. There are windows everywhere in this tent, including the top, and the mesh is a very fine mesh so there is no way any bugs are getting through these screens.Overall any cons you might can find are far outweighed by the positive aspects of this tent. It’s the best tent I’ve ever had. The biggest negative of this tent is it’s size. It takes up a lot of room so make sure you have the space to take it with you. I’m not really a fan of the doors, but that’s just the nature of this design and I will get used to it. So far my experiences with this tent are nothing but positive and I can heartily recommend it.

Sturdy, good quality, standing room, 7.5 foot square footprint, 2 doors.The doors are small, but worst they are pulling so tight that i think the zipper will be trashed shortly. I did find that if i push the one panel in at the door it gives enough slack to easily use the door zipper. Easy to do but just a little annoying.I think i would buy this tent again at $177 regardless of its down sides.

This is a quality tint. Very easy to set up within just minutes. Only thing I would probably do is lay. Tarp, underneath it, i’m not sure how waterproof the floor is. Other than that, it seems outstanding, can’t wait to put it into action
Michael Benjamin Herman –
super great tent! pops up so easily and very well ventilated. so nice to not have to mess with tent poles and makes camping a lot easier
Bryce –
I ordered this 10 because I wanted something that was easy to pop up and take down when I wanted to. I am absolutely delighted to report this tent is incredibly easy to put up and take down as long as you remember how to fold it. Great three season tents that is also tall. I would say anybody over 6 ft would be happy with this because I can barely touch the top at five four.

Camped by myself for the first time using this for the first time. This was so easy to put up and down. Having standing height room was great. It’s sturdy and strong. Very happy with this.

This tent is amazing! It took just 60 seconds to set up. While others at the campsite were still struggling with their tents, I was already inside organizing my gear. I was alone, but I could see it comfortably fitting two people with space to spare. Four people could probably sleep in it if it’s just for sleeping. I could stand up fully and walk around without bending over. The zippers and Velcro worked perfectly, and the rain fly held up during a storm on the last morning. This tent made my three-day camping trip even better, and it’s now my favorite, even though I own two other tents.

60 second set up is correct as long as you read the directions correctly, which are very simple and the best thing it goes right back in the same packaging added bonus
Chad T. Clinton –
Easy to set up, which I liked. A lot of space to move around inside. Didn’t get a chance to use it in the rain so not sure how well it would hold up? The seams are sealed so that’s always a good sign.

Love this tent.. great quality and easy to set up.. same as the gazzelle t4 but cheaper and great quality. Big kudos 🙌

I used it for the first time. I am a 70-year-old woman. I had it up in less than two minutes. It took longer to put the rainfly on (only because I am short). Zippers were high quality and worked smoothly. It had two doors and an opening to run an electric cord through if needed, also had plenty of screened windows and the ability to open screened windows at roof under rainfly for ventilation when raining. The bag it came in was large enough to not have to struggle to put it back in when done. I do recommend that you buy some backpack compression straps and better tent stacks for that hard rock ground. The price on this tent was half the price of its name-brand competitor.
T Gesell –
Easy to put up. It took me less than 3 minutes by myself the first time. Easy to take down, from fully set up to back in the bag is about 8 minutes by myself. The ventilation is great! Plenty of room for 2 twin cots or a queen sized mattress plus a couple of gear boxes and 2 dogs. Unlike the Gazelle tents, this will fit flat and lengthwise in a Jeep Gladiator (5 foot) bed. It was a big sell point for me. For Overland Camping, I want all my gear in the bed. Yes it’s too heavy to backpack with, but I pack my gear in the bed so it wasn’t a problem. Getting the tent back in the bag wasn’t much of a fight, but I now wrap a couple of bungee cords around it to help getting back in the bag. The price point is much better than the Gazelle! It’s also been very durable in higher winds while out this year, 20 plus mph wind doesn’t have much effect when tied down properly. I don’t know about rain and this tent because it’s been very dry this year around here and I haven’t had the misfortune of having to camp in the rain.

Just spent two weeks using this thing and it was great. It was just me so I had a ton of room to setup a cot and other items. You can stand up inside if you are 6′ or under without hitting your head. The hub design allows for super quick deployment and folding. The rain cover goes on really easy with the fold out rods. This is basically a direct copy of Gazelle T4 but without the removable floor for half the price. Great tent, will see how it holds up long term but with proper care it appears it will last. Zippers all worked great. It is somewhat heavy due to the size and design, so not meant for backpacking. But if you want to setup shop and have plenty of room and super quick setup, this one is for you.

I have used this tent five times this summer/fall and here are my thoughts:1. This tent is very easy to put up and take down. I have never had a tent that went up/down as fast as this one does (I am referring to tents you can actually stand up in, get a twin size king coil air mattress into, and still have space to move around inside the tent).2. I love all the windows in the tent and that they zip down from the top/side instead of from the bottom up. You can actually have the windows partially open and still have a sense of privacy.3. The door of the tent can be a little tricky to get into because of the design of the tent. You just have to make sure that both zippers are completely unzipped, and then after some practice getting in and out of the tent, doesn’t seem to be a problem.4. This tent can get pretty warm on a summer day, but I actually purchased a couple of tent poles so I could lift the rain flies on a couple of sides of the tent to increase airflow through the tent. That said, you probably wouldn’t want to do that on a very windy day.5. Conversely, I’ve also camped where it got down to 38°F in my tent and I was impressed that I had very little condensation on the tent walls in the morning. I did not have any kind of heater in the tent. The only condensation was really underneath my foam foil floor mats that I had in the tent to protect my air mattress from being directly on the tent floor.6. This may be trivial to some people, but you can actually get this tent/rain fly back into the tent bag that it comes in! And there’s enough room for me to make sure that my footprint, bag of tent stakes, and my hammer are in the tent bag as well! This is a big plus for me.7. The only improvement I would suggest is that there be some kind of vent near the floor for more vertical airflow.All in all, I am very impressed with this tent. I am very happy with my purchase.

I received tent on 09/06/24, didn’t open box until 10/24 to go camping. The tent was roomy for one cot I put a second cot and place them side by side and each individual had to leave out of opposite side doors which was fine. The first night everything was fine the second night it rained. The rain cover prevented rain from leaking through the roof but the side of tent and bottom was trash. Every piece of gear on tent floor was soaked. I had a spare sleeping bag on the floor for my dog, she had to share cot because her sleeping bag was acting as a sandbag. My cellphone and wallet was in the side pocket of the tent and they had water dripping from them. Don’t know if the wind or something the wind tossed at the tent caused a rip and a hole in the screen. I wasn’t in a area where there was debris laying around so I do not know what hit tent other than the wind. I wanted a 2nd one of these tent but now I am hesitant because of the experience. I am pass my 30 day exchange period to return for a replacement (was hoping maybe I had a lemon) wanted to take a replacement out on11/08 to see if it held up better to rain. But I don’t want two of the same tents with one being defective. I say this because I know someone with the tent who recommended it to me who had nothing negative to say about it. I would love to give an update to this post changing the negative comments if company decided to replace it before 11/0/24 when I will be taking one of my other tents.

Easy to set up and take down. Very roomy inside with headroom to stand up. Used it on a trip with heavy rains and it performed perfectly, no leaks.

I wish I could keep this tent. I loooved it. Smart design, quick setup, plenty of space. Alas, the tent is too long when packed. I cannot fit it into my CR-V without folding the back seats. Otherwise I would have kept it.

review for the alpha c4 cabin tent. buy it you will not be disappointed. I like the idea of the gazelle t4 but the price was too high i didn’t like the idea of the removable floor.i went with this tent instead at a much lower cost but I was super impressed with the quality. the stitching was very nice inside and out the zippers work flawlessly I think this tent is slightly taller inside then the t4 i like the shape of the door over the gazelle . the windows and doors also have nice hook loops to fasten to which the t4 doesn’t. it’s very fast and easy to set up and take down. fits right back in the bag. I did water proof spray the tent for extra security but have yet to get stuck in any measurable rain to test for leaks. but the material is nice and thick .I would buy this tent hands down again if anything happens to mine. I’m 6′ and can stand straight up with room to spare .plenty of windows and air ventilation options. I camp in a group everyone hates on my for how fast the set up and take down of this tent is hahaha. the only thing I wish they gave atleast 3 different color options to choose from. The attention to detail on this tent with the stitching window fasteners thicker hub pad and stitching is beyond the competitors in my opinion.

We go camping a lot in the fall, and wanted something that we didn’t have to keep bending over and crawling around in where we getting older. This is made out of good materials, and was 10 times easier to setup then our original tent. I like I can stand in it I’m 6 foot tall and have 6 inches above my head all in all I would recommend this tent to anyone that does occasional camping or want something to have a place for shade when in the out doors.
Customer Review –
One of the worst parts about going camping is setting up the tent. Push the poles through, they come apart, get pinched, throw them back in the bag and go home. With the Fanntik Alpha C4, that is no longer an issue! Want plenty or room? Want to stay dry? Boom. You got it here. Want hooks and ports and ease of living? no problem.Setup: Setup is a breeze. It took my wife (who refuses to read instructions) about 3 minutes to set it up the first time.Takedown: Takedown was almost as easy. There is a slight caveat. Take your time and read the instructions before this part. My wife, who still refused instructions, almost whacked herself in the face popping it down. It would have hurt. Read instructions.Living: This tent is super spacious. I can stand up in it and I am 6′ 1″. It has all the zips and hooks that you can ask for. We have 2 cots in there with plenty of room.Waterproof: Send all the rain you want. This tent has got you covered. No seeping at the seams.

I have done my research before getting this tent. I couldn’t afford the other expensive brand with the same design. So, I got this one instead. This is a very easy tent to setup and the design was very well thought out and the material is good quality. Very noticeable quality material by the feel of it at the cost of weight. This is not a light tent. I’ve used it two times. My buddies were impressed with the ease of setting it up and the design. I got this to replace my car hatchback tent. I’m happy with this product and highly recommend it.

Had an issue, and this company went over and beyond to make things fair and right. Amazing customer service!
I.Ride.Aprilia –
This was a well researched buy. I have had a lot of tents over the years and this is as good as any I have owned. The set up and take down could not be any easier. I have a roof top tent for my Jeep, I no longer use , this tent is much easier to use, and the fact I can put my cot in the tent and stand up is a game changer. This is a copy of the Gazelle for 25% less than they are selling their tent for. If you have made it this far, just go and buy the tent, you will not be upset with your purchase.Edit: As much as I love this tent, On my last trip we experienced rather heavy rain, I woke to a small flood on the floor of the tent. I looked everywhere for the leak and it looks like where the eyes for the rain fly attach on the hubs leak, I noticed this on all 4 corners, The next day I have to take everything out of the tent and spent an hour with a sponge and towels drying the floor. I had a ground sheet under the floor of the tent as well…..was not happy with the leaking….had to take away two stars from my initial review….I will attempt to seal the eyes to prevent any additional leaking and see how it fairs next time.

Great tent but as I unzipped all the windows there was a hole in the roff and that sucks!
NiceShine Customer –
Great tent ! originally I thought the rain fly was missing, but I found it.
clark –
Amazing for the price.zipper quality is terrible but if you’re careful, it will be last a couple seasons. Compared to the other similar, more expensive brands, this tent will do the job and its lighter weight. I wish it came with a proper footprint in heavy duty, water prof fabric.
Brady Wiley –
Quick and easy to put up/ take down lots of room

Zipper broke on door in 3 different spots 1st time setting tent up before camping trip. Horrible zippers very cheap. DO NOT BUY THIS TENT !

Easy as pie to set up

What an incredible value in comparison to Gazelle. I own a Gazelle and while it is heavy duty, it is very cumbersome. This one is lighter and seems durable. Very roomy

Putting down a tarp, opening the tent, staking it all down took about 20min. It was the middle of summer, so I didn’t need the rain fly. No issues taking it down (I thought). Trip 2 (fishmas), pulled the tent out of the bag, put it on the tarp and was having issues with the pullouts. My Badd! Make sure the floor of tent is completely on the bottom when you unfold to open. I had to re-adjust the tent and things went well, but. If you are alone, put the rain fly on before you pop up the ceiling unless you are 6ft tall. Story not over. Day two: Early evening, first the wind, then the 10min hail storm and 6hrs of continues rain. No leaks except a couple of places on the floor near corner seems. Can’t complainsince what the tent had been through. Bottom Line: I Love this tent. Nothing claustrophobic about this tent. It’s a studio apt. in the outdoors. It’s comfortable camping in the best way. More than worth it.

Fanttik customer service replaced defective tent. NiceShine would only refund purchase price. Wind resistant only if staked down.

Tested it on a 5-day camping out in Utah. Withstood rain and cold wind on a couple of nights with no rain infiltration and imperceptible wind sail flapping sounds. Main advantages over other tents: 1) sturdiness from rigidity of its cross bracing (X) pop-up framing design on all four wall panels and the roof panel; 2) ease of setup and disassembly thanks to in-place bracing frames that easily snap in place to become a fully rigid tent; 3) aerodynamic feature of its pyramidal geometry of the side walls made the tent very quiet even in high wind gusts; 4) plenty of zippered sections of the walls allow for control of the degree of ventilation needed at various locations of the tent; and 5) full vertical height inside the entire tent footprint thanks to its vertical walls.

This tent does have a particularly easy set-up. It’s spacious inside, measuring about 7.5 feet across from taped seam to taped seam. In a squeeze, you could certainly get four people side-by-side on the floor. For two people, you would have a significant amount of space for cots, gear, etc.There are many windows, providing ample ventilation. I find the zippers to be adequate and not problematic like some have reported.I also like that the floor is sewn into the tent body with taped seams, differentiating it from the Gazelle T4 which has a removable floor and which many people report never being able to get back into factory position.It’s definitely NOT waterproof, though. I just got it 2 days ago and I learned that rain was on the forecast so I set it up on the deck before the precipitation began to test it before chancing it “in the field.” Rain was steady for a couple of hours, though not intense. In the morning, a check indicated that there was water ingress in all of the corners. Each corner appears to have wet-out when examining them from the outside (see photo) and water was pooled in each of the corners on the inside (see photos.) There was also slight weeping from the seams around the windows with dampness to be found on and around the storage pockets. Knowing this, I wouldn’t put electronics in the pockets if I knew it was going to rain. Note, my decking system allows for water to be immediately evacuated through a series of slats so that there is no standing water. My belief is that water ingress would be more pronounced had the tent corners sat in standing water from a rain with limited opportunities for run-off or absorption.So what’s the solution? Well, the manufacturer could tape the seams. Barring that, the end user would have to either seam-seal the tent (which could prove challenging in the corners) or rig a tarp (or series of tarps) to ensure rain never gets to the corners.If I merely got a dud and Fanttik wants to send me another to test, I will update this review with more up-to-date information. Otherwise this review represents my best effort to describe the product based on real-life experiences and I hope readers can use the information to make informed choices.

This tent is so impressive. I took it out for the first time, and without reading any instructions, it was fully up in less than 60 seconds. The tension rod mechanisms are a great invention an easy to use for just one person. The tent is tall and wide. Plenty of room for gear and people. It looks great and the quality of the materials is great. No complaints at all.
Ms Buck –
This is a wonderful tent! I haven’t used it outdoors, but I set it up in my classroom for my students. It also provided an opportunity for me to get used to the set up, a win-win. It fit 5 teenage boys in bungee chairs comfortably. I absolutely love the size. It was easy to set up. I have to try it in the rain before camping.
